While I was in my house sleeping my car caught on fire...a neighbor stated that she looked out her bedroom window and just started seeing flames from underneath the engine...I was driving the car about an hour prior to this and there was no issue...I went in to my house to catch some z's before going into work and POOF up in smoke...I have never had any issues with this car even though it was so old...I was the second owner and the most I had done was replace the water pump a lil over a year ago...I found this on the a website for recalls:
